It’s going to be a great market this weekend! Lots of fresh produce, local meats and even Wild Alaska Salmon! We have a few new vendors this week: Flyaway Family Farms will be at the market with their gourmet mushrooms and Stuart’s Sweets will be back with better-than-Grandma’s baked goods! Looking for some local Easter inspiration? How about an doggie Easter dinner from Mario’s Mama or a fun crocheted basket from Tigerlily Studios? We will have After Barbed Wire singing tunes and kids activities with the Dayemi Parent Child Collective at the market this week. What a great way to celebrate the first day of Spring! We are hosting Carbondale’s first ever Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) Fair featuring All Season’s Farm, Angie’s Farm, Hollow Pumpkin CSA, SOIL Shares CSA and the SIU Sustainable Farm this Saturday. The CSA model is a great way for customers to get to know their farmers, eat seasonally and try new foods. CSAs are great for busy families looking to buy local and health conscious individuals and couples who are looking to eat more produce. CSAs are good for farmers too! They provide farmers with a stable source of income early in the growing season when farm expenses are highest. Stop by the market this Saturday to learn more about Community Supported Agriculture, talk with farmers and sign up for a CSA share of your own! This week at the market: CSA Farms:
